awful

Rating: Null/10 (29 March 2003)

My girlfriend and I had to turn it off halfway through (not something we do frequently). I fully agree with the other (rare) negative reviews. It's one of those films that seems to think that it's characters will be compelling if they simply tell me over and over again how compelling they are. Cinema Paradiso was great, but I'm frankly astounded by the gushing of praise for this unbearable film.
